Re: Serial PWM motor controller
Cool project. Here's what I've found.
Since you're packing around a whole computer, you're probably going to want motors along the lines of what's used in FIRST (correct me if I'm wrong), meaning that a lot of the low-current motor controllers would fizzle and die. So from there, really the best option that I know of is going with the IFI Victor controllers. Since they're controlled with servo PWM signals, you need a controller board like you said. There's a bunch of different options for this, most have 8 or 16 outputs, a couple I've found are: Pololu USB 16-Servo Controller Super Servo Controller There's also several guides if you want to DIY (like this one) For more just google serial servo controller Good luck! --Ryan |
